Chapter 1324: Chapter 523 Sinister and Malicious Chapter 1324: Chapter 523 Sinister and Malicious Finally, in the Dean's Office, Yan Fei saw the Drone Upgrade Essential Items. He felt a surge of excitement and took a step forward, reaching for the rhombus-shaped item. As he was about to grasp it, Yan Fei paused his movements momentarily, ready to respond immediately in case of any unexpected situation.

However, to Yan Fei's surprise, as his hands clasped the rhombus-shaped item, there was no abnormality around him. He moved his hand and instantly stored the item in the Universal Space. The Auxiliary Brain immediately displayed data: Upgrade Essential Items 9/10, confirming that this rhombus-shaped item was indeed the authentic Drone Upgrade Essential Item.

Yan Fei then felt a bit incredulous; he had assumed this was a scheme targeted at him, even preparing for a potential battle to acquire this item. Unexpectedly, the entire retrieval process was effortless, acquiring the item without any mishaps. Besides the effort it took to infiltrate the Underground Military Fortress, this mission was surprisingly simple.

Yan Fei felt puzzled–could it be that he had been overly cautious? Perhaps this wasn't a trap aimed at him, but rather a secret intelligence Future Technology had accidentally leaked…

Just when Yan Fei found the whole process too easy, a sensitive sensor on the desk detected a weight change due to the removal of the rhombus-shaped item, and immediately emitted a long mysterious signal. A piercing alarm sound followed, then all the lights in the room turned on, bathing the room in light as if it were broad daylight.

Without hesitating, Yan Fei quickly retreated, aiming to leave the room. Having acquired what he wanted, staying longer served no purpose.

But before Yan Fei could reach the door, he saw a 10-meter-thick metal door drop from above, crashing to the ground with a resounding “boom,” stirring up dust everywhere and blocking off the entire wall of the entrance.

Almost simultaneously, three more metal doors of equal thickness descended from the other three walls, enclosing the room with impenetrable barriers. The sudden appearance of these four thick walls instantly reduced the room's size to less than 10 square meters.

Then, mechanical noises emerged from above and below as more heavy metal slabs appeared. In an instant, six thick metal doors appeared in the room, trapping Yan Fei inside, making it impossible to leave, turning the room effectively into a solid metal box.

Although unsure whether the room's transformation was a standard security measure or a trap specifically targeting him, Yan Fei recognized the danger. He immediately tried to contact Artificial Intelligence “Dream” through the Auxiliary Brain, intending to control this metal room and help him open the metal doors. However, Yan Fei was shocked to find that despite the Auxiliary Brain's efforts, it could no longer connect with “Dream” outside.

The Auxiliary Brain was incredibly powerful, indeed more adept than Artificial Intelligence “Dream,” but Yan Fei was not an expert and couldn't fully harness its capabilities. Hence, Yan Fei usually relied on “Dream” for straightforward and efficient operations.

The Auxiliary Brain had maintained a connection with “Dream” to allow Yan Fei instantaneous control, but for some reason, the connection had suddenly been cut. When the Auxiliary Brain tried to reconnect with “Dream,” it discovered that it could no longer access Future Technology's internal network, as if it had been abruptly isolated from the outside world.

With the main body of “Dream” cloaked within Future Technology's internal network and the Auxiliary Brain unable to access it, Yan Fei had consequently lost contact with “Dream.”

While Yan Fei was bewildered, he suddenly felt a series of minor tremors outside, resembling the sealing off of the military bunker's entrance with heavy metal doors–the same entrance Yan Fei had used earlier. Yan Fei realized that the Drone Upgrade Essential Item was indeed a trap, meant to confine both him and Artificial Intelligence “Dream” within Future Technology's internal network.

At that moment, Future Technology must have employed a hardware cutoff to sever the internal network's external connections. Not only could the Auxiliary Brain not get in, but “Dream” also couldn't get out. Additionally, by sealing off the entrance with metal doors, they intended to trap anyone inside the Underground Military Fortress and mobilize personnel to eliminate the intruders.

Upon realizing he had fallen into their trap, Yan Fei wasn't panicked as he had anticipated such a situation and had prepared a corresponding battle plan. Yan Fei stretched out his hand, and a cannon port appeared on the palm of his Battle Armor, from which a blue energy shot forth, striking the metal wall at the entrance. No explosion was heard, but the metal wall rapidly dissolved under the impact of the energy cannon, creating a 5-meter-deep hole surrounded by sparking blue arcs…
